The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” d The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” depart from personal, familial, or historical photographic archives which ultimately are recontextualized through installation, collage, painting, film, video, sculpture, or mixed media, reimagining and reconnecting lost fragments to speak about personal and collective resilience, constructing new possibilities for an interconnected futurity.

LACE is thrilled to introduce three of the artists featured in the exhibition...

✷ Mercedes Dorame (@mercedes.dorame)  is a multi-disciplinary artist who calls on her Tongva ancestry to engage the problematics of (in)visibility and ideas of cultural construction and ancestral connection to land and sky.

✷ Leah King (@leahkinglive) is a multimedia artist working in collage, sound, film, and performance. Her intricately layered visual and sonic works explore race, gender, and power through a futurist lens.

✷ Ann Le (@annsgood) is a LA based artist and Senior Lecturer of Photography and Fine Arts at Loyola Marymount University. Her photomontages explore identity, family history, the diaspora, and the space in between becoming Vietnamese-American.

Join us at the opening reception on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 2–5 PM at CSULA’s Luckman Gallery. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP at the link in our bio.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Teiger Foundation.

“A Tender Excavation” centers identities that “A Tender Excavation” centers identities that have been systematically excluded from mainstream narratives and representations of not only American art but of representing an “American” identity.

LACE is thrilled to introduce 3 of the artists featured in the exhibition...

⋆ Star Montana (@starmontana) is a photo-based artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She was born and raised in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles, which is predominantly Mexican American and serves as the backdrop to much of her work.

⋆ Prima Jalichandra-Sakuntabhai (@prima_jalichndrsakntbhai) is a transdisciplinary artist, working across performance, video and installation, based in Los Angeles. Born in Thailand in 1989, they grew up in Europe before moving to the US in 2011.

⋆ Arlene Mejorado (@ari.mejorado) is an artist from Los Angeles who works through analog and digital image-making processes to contemplate ideas around memory, landscape, and placemaking. Often working intuitively, Mejorado’s practice ranges from traditional documenting to staging scenes that merge elements of installation, performance, and studio photography.
